There's a two-page article in The Register <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/14/browser_tools_bake_off/> comparing web development tools in different browsers. Misleading clickbait headline, and article doesn't go into much depth, but otherwise not bad. It focuses mostly on the built-in tools of Firefox vs. Chrome, but also mentions (and links to) Firebug.
One thing that intrigued me was this sentence, referring to the built-in Firefox and Chrome tools: "Both make the Console available within any other panel as well." I've often wanted to be able to look at the debugger panel (or the Watch panel) while also watching the Console at the same time. Fooling around with the Firefox built-in tools (in FF 28), I finally found a way to split the pane, with the debugger on top and a console on bottom -- but the console didn't show any of the logs in the JS file as the page loaded (yes, I checked off "Logs" and all the other stuff in the dropdown menu). The console split-pane stayed blank; the only thing it seemed to do was respond to stuff I typed directly into it. Maybe I was doing something wrong? Anyway, I mostly use Firebug. I wish there was some way to have the Firebug Console and the Debugger pane show (and be active) simultaneously, so I wouldn't have to keep tabbing back and forth while moving through breakpoints.
